Photos From Disney's Coral Reef at Epcot (October 2016)

I recently dined at Disney's Coral Reef restaurant located at The Living Seas in Epcot earlier this month and I was lucky enough to be seated at one of the tables right next the tank. Needless to say it was an absolutely fascinating dining experience and I will be posting a full dining review next week but I thought it might be fun to show off some of these photos first. The food was great and the meal I had was one of my favorite things I had during my entire trip (which included a Disney Cruise and The Food &Wine Festival). Still, I think that I'd rather do a full review of the separately because the creatures in The Living Seas were really the best part and deserve a separate post. This restaurant is incredible because of the aquarium and you feel like you are under the sea. If you have little ones who loves Nemo or Ariel, this would a very special place to visit!

The color of the water was the perfect Finding Dory shade of blue. That's the part that I can't get over. Only at Disney. I kept thinking that the way the light looked passing down through surface of water and into the tank was visually identical to how the sunlight breaks into the ocean during certain scenes in the Finding Nemo/Dory movies. Pixar nailed that special effect. Even though I sort of already knew that because I've seen the Blu-Ray special features and videos, it's breathtaking to see in person. I don't spend too much time under water so I don't get see how light works down there too often. Anyways, here are some of my favorite photos from inside Disney's Coral Reef restaurant.
